Letterbook, LB-035

This letterbook covers the period December 1889-January 1890. Most
of the correspondence is by Edison and Alfred O. Tate. Many of the letters
relate to the manufacture and marketing of the phonograph and talking doll.
There is also correspondence regarding ore milling, the purchase of mining
properties, the mimeograph, and the phonoplex system. Several of the letters
pertain to the use of batteries with the phonograph and phonoplex. Some of
the documents deal with the payment of Edison’s taxes and other personal and
financial matters. Included also are letters to the firm of Dyer & Seely about
foreign and domestic patents. The front cover is labeled "Indexed General
Letter Book T. A. Edison Orange N.J." The book contains 500 numbered
pages and an index. Approximately 40 percent of the book has been filmed.

Letterbook, LB-036

This letterbook covers the period January 1890. Most of the
correspondence is by Edison and Alfred O. Tate. Included are letters relating
to the manufacture of the phonograph and talking doll and the marketing of
phonographs in Japan and China. There is also correspondence regarding
electric lighting, ore milling, and the purchase of mining properties. Other
letters pertain to Edison’s receipt of the Volta Medal and to the fire that
destroyed the first Pearl Street central station. A list of stockholders of the
Edison Phonograph Works appears on page 47. The front cover is labeled
"General Letter Book T. A. Edison Indexed." The book contains 501
numbered pages and an index. Approximately 50 percent of the book has
been filmed.

Letterbook, LB-037

This letterbook covers the period January-February 1890. Most of the
correspondence is by Edison and Alfred O. Tate. Many of the documents
relate to the manufacture and marketing of the phonograph and talking doll.
Included are letters about the coin-operated phonograph, a set of directions
for using the Edison water-motor phonograph, and a phonograph test report.
There is also correspondence pertaining to ore milling and the purchase of
mining properties. Other letters concern Edison’s personal and business
finances and his trip to North Carolina. In addition, there is a 3-page letter
containing a subject-classification list for the filing of Edison’s incoming
correspondence. The front cover is labeled "Indexed T. A. Edison General
Letter Book. Laboratory." The book contains 497 numbered pages and an
index. Approximately 40 percent of the book has been filmed.

Letterbook, LB-038

This letterbook covers the period February-March 1890. Most of the
letters are by Alfred O. Tate. There is also correspondence by Edison, Charles
Batchelor, and John F. Randolph. Many of the letters relate to the
manufacture and marketing of the phonograph and talking doll. Included are
letters about the coin-operated phonograph, the operations of the Edison
Phonograph Works and the Edison Phonograph Toy Manufacturing Co., the
demonstration of the phonograph in Russia, and the presentation of
phonographs to William II, Emperor of Germany, and other foreign
dignitaries. Other letters pertain to electric lighting, the phonoplex system,
mining, and ore milling. There are also several long letters written to Edison
while he was inspecting mines near Charlotte, North Carolina. Beginning on
page 330 is a four-page list of experimental accounts from January to March
1890. The book contains 500 numbered pages and an index. Approximately
40 percent of the book has been filmed.

Wich he offers, is any temptation. If tho Toy Phonograph Oo has

to do 4 regular merchandising business abroad, whith would certain}

be neceatary in order to give value totin shares which Schnovekel

Dear Sirt»

In further reference to your letter wder date 13th ssi i
_ instant, enelos ing copy of Cols Gouraud's detter under date llth
instant, in regard to bills which I have rendered against him, and
in whieh he emmerates a number of yeasons why those bills should
not be paid at the prasont times Iwill answor these in the

order in which they oceur in his commnnicat ions

FIRST Cols Gourad states that none of these invoices heave

been previously renderady but fails to note the fact that Lists of

the material covered by @¢ach shipment were fommaried to his office

i at the $ine the shipments wero madeg The greater portisn of this : i

material was furnished on regular routine vequisit sonis rece yed

: \ - fvom Cole Gouraud!'s office, and it is to bo preswiea that whee no
F material arrived ir London it was chacked with sly ea Ae

Whigh had beén issued for it ma deninst the Mists widely wine pent

stating that the account would have his atvention when he re turned. ‘

to Londone

THIRDS The etter and documents whieh accompany this cam
muni¢ation will prove olenrly that Coly. Gouraud is in ervor whan
he states that none of the articles referred to in the invoices

wer ovdored by him, excep to the value of $1,000 or 31,500.

FOURTH's ‘tho supplies gent 40 Mexiso weve funishea to Gol»
Goumud's agents. I refer to this mat ter more specifically in the
Zedonpanying Llettors

Cols Gourand states tt quite a mmber of these items eve
for machinery des igned for the manufac tuve of phonographs in
Trew ope i never sent him any machinery for the manut'acture of
Fhonogpravhs. I sent machinery to the value of about $200 for the
manufaoture of phonogrmms, but nothing for the manufacture of ths

Phonograph itself. I have sont Cols Goureud a eredit memo for

. the phonographs taken to Euvove by Mrs Insulls | The phonographs

and supplies sent to the International Graphkophone Company were
furnished on Col. Gouraud's order, the original of whith is en-

Letterbook, LB-039

This letterbook covers the period March-April 1890. Most of the letters
are by Alfred O. Tate. There is also correspondence by Edison and Charles
Batchelor. Many of the documents relate to the manufacture and marketing
of the phonograph and talking doll. Included are letters about the coin-
operated phonograph, the operations of the recently organized Edison United
Phonograph Co., and a plan to record the voice of British Prime Minister
William E. Gladstone. Other letters concern the phonoplex system, mining
and ore milling, electric lighting, and the Edison-Lalande battery. Some of the
letters pertain to the stock transactions of the various phonograph and electric
light companies. Included also are letters to the firm of Dyer & Seely
regarding patent applications and other patent matters. The book contains
499 numbered pages and an index. Approximately 40 percent of the book has
been filmed.

Dear Sirt» .
Mr, Tate has handed to me the onc losed bundle of papers,

with the request that I roturn them to you with a statement fron

myself. ,

Your inemorandum to Mr. Insull datod Pebruary 24th, 1890, indi-
Cates quite clearly that the telephone message which wag transmit-
ted from yow off'ice February 2ist, and to which I. took exception,
was intended for the Laboratory, and not for me personally. This
being the case, my letter of 22nd of February, addressed to your-
self, shovnld never havo been written, and I have been convinced of
its impropriety and now desire to withdraw ‘ite

The renarks contained in the documnt in question reflecting
upon yourself, were written under a misapprehension, in.a parenthe-
sis of anger, when reason had struck @ vreng scent, -and I concede
that there was no justification for thane :

From the papers sent You herewith I have axtracted tre offen=
ding spistie, in the belief that it is the proper thing to do,.and
I regret exceedingly any annoyance which it may have caused you. °

An acknowledgoment of this comaunication in the shape of a
declaration from yourself to the effect that you are perfeotly
Satisfied with my action in the matter (or if not, indicating what
it lacks to render you so) would, I think, be a good ending to a
most unfortunate squabble which should never, have ocowred, , and
would be recoived with much satisfaction by ° aaa tk

Letterbook, LB-040

This letterbook covers the period April-May 1890. Most of the letters
are by Alfred O. Tate. There is also correspondence by Edison and John F.
Randolph. Many of the letters relate to the manufacture and marketing of the
phonograph and talking doll. Some of the correspondence concerns the
promotion of the phonograph in Europe, Asia, and South America and the
establishment of a company to sell talking dolls in Europe. Other letters
pertain to mining and ore milling, electric lighting, and the Edison-Lalande
battery. There is also correspondence about the 1890 Women’s Exhibition in
New York and the payment of the experimental accounts of the West Orange
laboratory. Beginning on page 188 is a seven-page memorandum about
experiments conducted at the laboratory for various Edison companies. The
book contains 500 numbered pages and an index. Approximately 40 percent
of the book has been filmed.

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of 238th

instant, onclosing sketch of an electric metey desigmed by Lire

Je Cs Hill. I have submitted this to Mrs Edison, and he desires

me to say that the device is imprecticables In the first place,

the quantity of: hoat produced in: not proportionate to she current

which passes throwsh tho lmnaevaed conductor; and in the second

Place, tho information siven in the text books in regard to eqld,

is crroneous, as is a griat deal of other information contained

in these books. The amount of cold produced is about one degroa _,

of Fahyonhoit.
